xmr-stak Win64 freezes randomly since March 11
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I have four miners running xmr-stak. Three running Windows 10 and one Ubuntu. From earlier today (March 11, 2018) the xmr-stak on the three Windows machines freezes randomly. I have diasbled Quick Edit mode in CMD and I mine on different pools. I have not experienced this at all before, and now - at the same time - all my xmr-stak installations in Windows are unstable, while the Ubuntu rig runs as before.
I noticed that one machine froze when switching to dev pool.
All help appreciated!
No common ones for the three machines. One installed KB4058043 and KB4074588 earlier today. The other ones have them from before. No Defender updates either.
Ok, here is an update on this issue. I have identified the problem and it was not related to xmr-stak (yes, this post is misplaced and should have been under the xmr-stak and not xmr-stak-amd branch). When the rigs auto-restarted after the Windows update the OpenCL device order was changed. Since I have different AMD GPUs in the rigs the amd.txt config became invalid for the setups, making the rigs very unstable. I didn't have any screens nor HDMI dummies connected to the rigs at the time. A simple reboot and adding one HDMI dummy per rig fixed the OpenCL device order issue and since then all rigs are stable.
please next time use the correct repository https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak
